From e-mail to first & last name
Almost all business e-mail addresses contain the name of the address owner — making them a valuable source of identity data, even when no other field carries a name.
The Email Name Parser identifies and extracts the first and last name from the local-part. It cleans, fixes and standardises the address, and routes the local-part through the Name Parser for full structuring.
Functional addresses such as info@, sales@, support@ are recognised and excluded — no person name is fabricated from them.
What it does
First & last name
Extracts given and family names from common patterns: j.doe, john.doe, doe_john, jdoe.
Address cleaning
Trims whitespace, drops mojibake, lowercases, normalises common typos in domain names.
Functional detection
Flags info@, sales@, support@, noreply@ — no name extraction attempted.
Multilingual
Works across European, Latin American and Asian transliterated names.
Confidence score
Each extraction includes a confidence value — consumers can pick a threshold for their use case.
Freemail vs. business
Distinguishes private freemail accounts from business domains — useful context for downstream decisions.
Where Email Name Parser fits
Record search & matching
Improve indexing and matching by adding the extracted name to the search profile.
Web forms
Auto-populate name fields the moment the user types their e-mail address — reduce friction and form abandonment.
E-mail marketing
Personalise campaigns with the recipient's first name — even when the list has no separate name field.
Customer service
Greet incoming inquiries by name, even when the inbound channel is just an e-mail address.
